Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Principles of Ocean Transportation
Experience in teaching transportation to university students and in conducting special investigations for the government has made evident to the authors of this volume the need of a book dealing systematically and comprehensively with the whole subject of ocean transportation. While many books, some of them technical, others popular in character, have been written upon different phases of the general subject, there is no single volume to which college stu dent, steamship man, and shipper can turn for a description of ocean carriers and their services, an account of ocean conferences, an explanation of ocean rates and fares, and a discussion of the principles and practices of government aid and regulation of ocean shipping.
This book is intended to supply such a volume. It does not at tempt to treat exhaustively the many questions included in the com plicated and somewhat technical subject of ocean transportation, but it seeks to present the essential facts regarding each important part of the field. It is a book for individual study or for class room use. The references at the ends of the chapters will enable the special or technical student and the business man who uses or Operates vessels to pursue further his study of the particular subject in which he may be especially interested.
